One of the most challenging problems of modern engineering is
undoubtedly the prediction of hypersonic flows around space
vehicles in reentry conditions. Indeed, the difficulties are
numerous: first of all, these flows are very difficult to model,
since very complex physical and chemical phenomena take place
during the reentry phase; secondly, temperature, velocity and
enthalpy are very high and densities are very low, making the
reentry process very difficult to reproduce in ground-based
experiments. The past three decades have seen important efforts in
computational fluid dynam ics relying on the use of supercomputers
to simulate these very complicated flows. The numerical simulation
based on imperfect models and methods which were es sentially
designed for transonic and supersonic flows has still a long way to
go in order to be able to predict these hypersonic reentry flows
very accurately. This situation has motivated very strong
international cooperative efforts with, as the most visible
consequences, the EuropelUnited States Short Courses on Hy
personics, which were held in Paris, in 1987 [1,2], Colorado
Springs in 1989 [3], and Aachen in 1990 [3]. The workshop on
Hypersonics whose results are presented and analysed in these
volumes is also a direct consequence of this international
cooperation. This scien tific event was an initiative of P.
Perrier, Head of the Theoretical Aerodynamics Department of
DASSAULT AVIATION, who played a key role in the identification of
the critical problems and the realisation of experiments, within
the Hermes R&D program framework.
